See the red line in post #19? I want to add a T or a valve there and connect the capped off riser.

It's doable, hard, and I would get some help for stabbing it.
Cut the top red line , add a collar and a street L, cut your bottom red line add a tee and stub to the street L.
I dry stab and hammer off, someone said on here I think to use soap water to dry stab so it comes off.
You have to prime and glue all 4 peices up stab the tee at the bottom and then stab the horizontal piece of the street L, real fast

Stab = insert
This is the capped off vac port? If so, the problem with having that as a suction is it kills your skimmer, main drains have this problem as well. So you will find out that you will be leaving the vac port closed all the time.
If this was my pool I would want the water to be circulated in the line but I would never plan on using it. I would plum it it, plug the line in the pool but drill a small hole in the plug that a trickle of water flow through it, then you do have a vac port if you want.
Yes a lot of work for very little gain, if you don't have experience in stabbing two connections at once I would not as if you miss it your next option to fix it will be pulling the valve.

The riser is the capped off vac port. By plumbing it in, do you mean to plumb it into the return side? Or suction?
What would be the problem with water not circulating in that line? Stagnant water and bacterial growth?
What if I put a ball valve on that capped riser and just flushed it occasionally with a hose? Or even connect it to a hose bib on the return side?

I thought you were wanting it as a suction, but either would work to keep it fresh.
Yes stagnant water, sometimes algae hides in lights and ladders and increases clorine use.
Capping it with a bib sounds like a great idea. I would cap it with a 3/4 hose fitting and a plug rather than a valve, make up a short garden hose and use the bib on the pump to flush it once a month/quarter/season

I initially wanted to use it for suction but then I read about entrapment risk and got scared off that idea.
